Actor Bala and Balaji Sakthivel's recent drama Gandhi Kannadi has successfully crossed 25 days in theatres. Released on September 5, the film was directed by Sherief of Ranam Aram Thavarel-fame and received majorly positive reviews from audiences.

Sharing the news, the filmmaker wrote on his social media handles, "25 days of Gandhi Kannadi, but a lifetime of memories. Every clap, every smile, every tear you gave us has become our true success. From our hearts to yours, thank you."

Gandhi Kannadi revolves around Gandhi's (Balaji Sakthivel) wish of conducting a grand 60th wedding for his wife. As he scrambles to arrange money, he sells his ancestral land. Unfortunately, the cash he receives in Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes for the land becomes invalid due to the demonetisation order imposed in 2016. The rest of the story follows his relentless pursuit, along with Kathir (Bala) who holds an event management company, to fulfil his wife's wishes.

Apart from Bala and Balaji Sakthivel, the film stars Namita Krishnamurthy as the female lead. Urvashi Archana, Amudhavanan, Madhan and Nikhila Sankar play pivotal roles in the film. Gandhi Kannadi marked Bala's (Kalakka Povathu Yaaru-fame) debut as lead in a film.

Our CE review of the film read, "Balaji Sakthivel truly shines, proving his mettle as an actor who can mirror, reflect and distort a picture through his skills. His child-like expressions, undying love for his wife and naivety in choosing materialistic desires make him a character that one wholeheartedly roots for."

Gandhi Kannadi reunited Sherief with his Ranam- Aram Thavarel cinematographer Balaji K Raja. On the technical front, it had music by Vivek Siva and Mervin Solomon.
